PR companies and online marketing.
Public Relations (PR) Companies
Public relations companies mostly focus on two industries: technology and fashion. More recently, some well-known PR companies have expanded into areas such as finance, medicine, food, sports, entertainment, and environment.
When looking for a PR company, it is imperative to know that their services are more about promotion rather than finding customers from scratch. Nevertheless, PR companies are still an option for you to consider if you already have regular clients and you want to attract more potential customers or you want to promote your company or brand. Make sure to check out case studies or examples outlining how a PR company can assist you.
